Introduction The MSP-EXP430FR5739 Experimenter Board introduces TI's first embedded ferro-electric random access memory (FRAM) based MCU, the MSP430FR5739. The experimenter board is an ideal platform for evaluating the latest in embedded memory technology while allowing the user to easily develop, debug, and implement prototypes in an efficient manner.
8MB per second depending on how the code is optimized. See the application report Achieving High-Speed FRAM Writes Using the MSP430FR5739 for more details. On entering Mode 1, the address of the FRAM scratchpad location is calculated. For the User Experience demo, the scratchpad location starts at 0xD400 and ends at 0xF000.

USB or externally via a battery. When powering via the USB, it is recommended to disconnect the emulation portion from the MSP430FR5739 device. This can be done by removing jumpers TXD, RXD, Reset, and Test on J3. A multimeter can be used to measure the current into the MSP430FR5739 V removing the V jumper and placing the multimeter leads in series.
